Short Summary

If you're here and reading this, it is because you're a friend who would consider assisting me fund the Calla's Waltz Recording Project. Although this is a public campaign, it has been aimed primarily at my base of friends, family and music fans. Your patronage is the only way the project can be accomplished and your gift is so important.

Briefly, here's how it all started:

A short while ago I received an email from a retired Executive Producer at Warner Brothers Records. He had worked with a number of stars during his decades at Warner Brothers and he had recently discovered my music. He contacted me to tell me that two of my songs, "Even As I Ramble" and "Calla's Waltz" each ought to be big hits and he encouraged me to develop a project to produce new recordings of the songs - and then work with him to get them placed in the music/film industry. So, in a nutshell - that's what this Indiegogo campaign is all about; helping me raise the funds to push these songs into the next level.

"You know inside you that this could be something special," my Warner Brothers friend told me, "I do too!"

I know you have so many worthwhile ways of spending or donating your dollars. Just the fact that you've even thought about helping is truly valuable to me ... so please be assured that whatever you can do is most appreciated. The only reason you would make a gift to this campaign is because you also believe these songs (and others) have a chance of making an impact in the world of music - and you wish to help me make that happen.

I cannot thank you enough for being a Friend of Calla's Waltz Project!

The Project Budget

The Calla’s Waltz Project budget covers costs for musician fees and travel, accommodations, studio and producer times. Getting the players together is a significant component of the project budget, with Dream Team members based in Dallas, Toronto and Olivebridge, NY.

The project will produce recordings of Jed Marum songs; Calla’s Waltz, Even As I Ramble in addition to 3 additional traditional and original songs. Calla’s Waltz and Even As I Ramble have been selected to be pushed for placement with major film/music industry productions. The entire set of project recordings will be included in future album projects.

Here is the budget breakdown:

This budget does not include media production or distribution, nor does it include promotion.

What We Need & What You Get?

We need $7,500 to fund this project. Your gift to this campaign - your patronage makes you a Friend of the Calla's Waltz Project and your financial contribution helps us push these songs to the next level. Calla's Waltz has a real chance at making a mark in the music world - and reaching millions. Friends of the Calla's Waltz Project will also receive digital downloads of all the songs from the project, before they are published on future album projects - and you will have our heartfelt thanks.

What Are the Risks?

Over the years, Jed Marum has had a successful track record with music projects like this. His songs and recordings have been licensed for use in four film/TV productions. See the filmography details here. He has released over a dozen albums since 1999. See the discography details here.

All of the music from the Calla's Waltz Recording Project will be used in future album releases. The primary goal however, is to get these songs placed in major music/film industry productions and although they have actually been sought by major industry people - there are no guarantees! To use an analogy; they will make the Olympic Team, but there's no promise they'll win the Gold Medal.

What Happens to Overage or Unspent Funds?

Funding overages, raised by this campaign will be used to benefit the educational programs at the Ashokan Center, located in the Catskills in Olivebridge, New York. The mission of the Ashokan Center is to teach, inspire and build community through shared experiences in nature, history, and the arts. 

YOU Are Needed!

Your patronage of this project is necessary to the production of these recordings and your gift is appreciated more than we can say. Thank you for being a Friend of the Calla's Waltz Project. We will keep you posted as the project unfolds!
